User Review of Maptitude 5.0 for Great Britain

Posted: October 29th, 2008, 7:25pm CET by Satri

Tags: soft_reviews

After previous reviews last April, DM offers a fresh review named Maptitude 5.0 for Great Britain: One User's Perspective. From this review: "Initially I was a skeptic. When first shown the product, I also had access to several of the market leaders in GIS (I still do). "Why," I wondered, "would I need another?" But Maptitude won me over with its ease of use, its stability when processing large data sets and its ability to handle non-native file formats, which now include various database and spreadsheet formats, image support, the ability to handle files from other GIS software, some compressed file formats and Ordnance Survey's NTF. Maptitude 5.0 for Great Britain is now in its fifth year of existence."

MapInfo Professional Version 9.5 Review

Posted: September 4th, 2008, 4:29pm CEST by Satri

Tags: soft_reviews

Directions Magazine offers a review of MapInfo Professional 9.5. Last month, APB linked to another review by a non-geo professional. MapInfo Pro 9.5 was announced last June. Part of the DM conclusion: "The new product feedback function will allow Pitney Bowes MapInfo to collect and analyze user feedback from more of its users going forward. Users should find that the new features in MapInfo Professional v9.5 make the product easier to use and it displays better output. Users who need to edit spatial data will find the MapCAD tools very useful for their workflows and users who access spatial data in Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server database now have updated functionality to access these databases. Developers can now use the .Net integration to customize MapInfo Professional or to add GIS functionality to their applications. "

iPhone 3G Map Experiences

The All Points Blog has a good roundup of iPhone reviews. Needless to say, it's getting a lot of negative review, but it's still somewhat first generation geotagging for the iPhone. Rather than duplicate the summary here, it's best you head on over there to read it.

Maptitude 5.0 Review

Posted: April 4th, 2008, 4:18pm CEST by Satri

Tags: soft_reviews

Geospatial Solutions offer a review of Maptitude 5.0 (with screenshots). From the review's introduction: "It provides a wide array of thematic mapping, data entry, and editing functions, and sophisticated geospatial data manipulation. A Web-based version of Maptitude 5.0 is also available. The software interface has numerous wizards to guide the novice with geospatial functionality. The wizards also enable experienced users to quickly master the software interface." Maptitude was never mentioned before on Slashgeo and there's a lot of competition in GIS software packages. A quick search made me stumble on a shorter review which is of poor quality in the opinion of APB.

ENVI 4.4 Review

Posted: March 3rd, 2008, 10:56pm CET by Satri

Vector1Media offers a detailed review of ENVI 4.4. From the review: "It is a complete image-processing system that includes spectral tools, geometric correction, terrain analysis and radar analysis while also incorporating strong GIS functionality for working with both raster and vector data. This version incorporates significant additions and benefits over previous versions due to its ability to work with a new ENVI Feature Extraction Module, Atmospheric Tools (FLAASH) and Digital Elevation Module (DEM) extraction. A new interoperable National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) imagery format for enhanced data fusion is also included. [...] ENVI 4.4 packs a lot of analysis power within an easy-to-use interface. The connection this software makes with GIS and other geospatial data types is not only through connection, but someone has thought through the workflows that an integrated imagery-GIS professional would use. Consequently there is higher value in this software than previous versions as more data can be harnessed from imagery to decision-making." Some related stories below.
